DIE: an RPG where the world is literally out to get you.
DIE RPG | Campaign
About the adventure
Dive into “Goth Jumanji” and experience a world that will make you question not just the games you play but your very essence as a player, and as a human. In DIE you will create two personas: one to represent the person playing the game and the other the actual character you play. Fill your player persona with joy, sorrow, and trauma to your hearts galore; make them as real as possible. And then witness as they are tormented by every loving detail you added to them. Your player personas will be dragged into the very game they created and are forced to confront all their demons in various forms. Will you be able to survive a trip to a traumatic fantasy world of your own making? Who will you be when you return? If you return. Make your version of the iconic characters of the comic, each of whom is a weird riff on the classic RPG classes: — Dictators are vile bards of the heart who manipulate emotions and bring down nations with a single whisper. — Fools are blessed with great luck and with a penchant for piracy, anarchy, and generally doing whatever they please. — Emotion Knights harness a singular, all-consuming emotion to turn sentient weapons into handheld natural disasters. — Neos are the perfect combo of tech, magic, and roguish charm all powered fancy magic RPG gold paid to stingy space aliens. — Godbinders make deals with their gods for great power and hopefully only mildly terrible consequences. — Masters (played by the GM) are reality-warping, 4th wall breaking, meta mages who control the very fabric of existence with phenomenal cosmic magic and only like 35% cheating. The DIE RPG uses an original rules system written by Kieron Gillen and playtested by Rowan, Rook and Decard to make it into the ultimate expression of DIE.

How to prepare
Players will need a mic and a discord. Knowing the rules is optional, as I'll go over them and help with characters in session 0. Knowledge of the DIE comics would be fabulous and really help you get a sense of the game itself.
What I provide
I have plenty of dice, the game rules and materials, and everything else needed. I prefer theater of the mind, but will have materials to make a proper field of combat when needed.
Gameplay details
This is a heavy roleplay game that requires you to put a bit of yourself into the game. During session 0 will ask a series of questions to help create the first half of your deeply flawed character. The first two sessions are free to see if you fit with my rather wild style. I will provide a character document and go over lines and veils in session 0.

How will character creation work
Die has its own unique character creation and leveling system. In session zero, I will ask you a series of questions to help determine several aspects as we work to create two different personas, the deeply flawed player returning to the game and the character they left behind.
